There oro some peoplo in this city who are continually and everlastingly fasinirchliig the characters of other people, for what reason we are unable fathom, unless it is because their foul mouths hate nothing else to do If such peoplo I'onnot find bettor em ployment, then they should hunt some ther avenue to vomit their tilth upon j.-tther than to spew it upon innocent women Men can stand such things, but when women are assailed, what chance is there for them, but to melt j it of sight or go down to perdition? We have recently heard of a case or two of this kind, which should meet -vith a merited rebuke from the peoplo t large who admire truth and correct living. Com-Ad. The above article is a timely one. It is a fact that no strange woman can ttomo to this town without somo foul ziouthed man or woman starting vi!o itorios about the past of the now ar rival, and this is particularly true if the woman happens to be a single woman dependent upon her own resources. A case in point, and the one which ru presutno is referred to in the above article, is that of Mrs. Howard and Miss Gray, who recently came hero from Kansas City. Mrs. Howard, who is a widow, came hero and rented tho kvwer rooms of tho Morauvillo block jiLh.tUo object of taking boarders and ftideavoring to make a living for her self. When sho had become comfort ably settled in her new quarters sho sent for her friend, Miss Gray, who is i i oxDoriouced dressmaker, and tho iwo ladies oponod dressmaking parlors in their rooms. Both ladies brought letters of recommendation from some nf tho best knowu and most respect ble peoplo of Kansas City, ono from the olllcers of a church in Kansas City. Tho ladies secured a few lady Jay boarders and wero just beginning lo earn a comfortable living when juniors derogatory to their character begau to bo heard Tracing these rumors to their source, they wore found to emanate from au irresponsi ble person claiming to have seen ouoof Ihe ladies at somo time iu tho dim past in a littlo Nebraska town, uuder wfavorable circumstances. Investi gation by interested parties showod Uiat tho lady was never iu the town teferrod to. Attached to this article will be found jne of the numerous lottors of reeom xnudatiou brought by the ladies, which should couviuco any fair mind vl person of tho good character of tho Viearor Since locating hero tho ladies ,vliave conducted themselves iu a man ner to earn the esteem and respect of veryouo who has become acquainted Tith them, and no punishment could toe too sovere for tho man or woman who would attempt to rob them of their good name and au opportunity to earn au honest living. We understand that criminal pro reeding will soon bo begun against he person who started the story, aud if such is the case tho truth iu tho vhole matter will be given to tho imbliu There is a well dellucd suspicion in the minds of some of our citizens that the attempt to blacken tho reputation flf these ladies is part of a plan to iu jure another person who hits certain ly had trouble enough. Following is tho lottor referred to above, which is signed by tho prosl iout and manager of tho "German Americun StafF of Physicians and Sur- eons institute " Kansas City, Mo., April 11, 1905. To Whom Presented:- I have boen acquainted with tho bearer hereof, Mis. Mattie B Howard, for many yojrs and know her to bo a thoroughly up sight lady of tho highest trim actor.

I feel sure that she will fill satisfact orily any position which she may undortako and any kindness shown her will be appreciated by all her friends. I will cheerfully answer any inquir ies Unit auyono may desire to make concerning her. Yours very respectfully B E. Pacik. J.T H. CLAIM. Same Here. C. J. Bowlby in his long career has observed the Colonel newspaper policy of letting the subscribers settle for their paper at their convenience Under the law passed last winter to spito tho newspaper men for having dared to criticise tho unseemly con duct of some of the legislators a delln quent subscription after July one may be paid or not at tho option of tho subscriber. This menanco to pros perity has forced Mr. Bowlby to call upon his pntrons to square up before July 1st, and it hurts him to be driven to this brutal extremity. What ex asperating penalties do follow the sending of small men to tho legisla ture. llixby in the State Journal. We can appreciate tho "fix" in which Colonel Bowlby finds himself. When he tries to collect his back sub scription accounts he will bo confront ed by tho usual plea of dishonest sub scribers, such as: "1 never subscribed," "I ordered the paper stopped years ago," "I never read a lino in the paper," and such other evasion?. It was only last week that this ofllce had an experience of this kind with a man who owed $8 on subscription. Ho de clared that ho had never subscribed; that ho "stopped tho paper when Hosmcr sold out," and that he would take his solemn oath that ho had never read a column in tho paper When tho present management of Tin: Chief bought tho paper from Will McMillan it also bought all out standing subscription accounts. Tho man mentioned above was on the list and, as ho is wealthy aud amply able to pay, tho paper was continued to his address. He finally refused tho paper at tho postoitlco, und iu answer to a couple of duns mailed to him ho came nto tho ofllce und made tho plea stated above. Ho is a man who has had column after column of free ad vertising in the newspapers of the 1 Shovels Spades Long handle and short handle, round point and square point, 90c All kinds of Hoes and Rakes A good Steel Hoe, 25c A No. 1 Rake 25c We have a good line of BULK GARDEN SHEDS that are sure to grow.

Wo havo other subscribers who are in tho same category as tho above, but wo believe the majority of our sub scribers to be honest men who will sometime pay what they owo.

Reports have begun to go out from tho pouitentiary that Frank Barker, tho convict condemned to bo put to death, is not sane. Tho courts have passed on his case aud the date of the execution is June 10. Barker murder ed his brother and sister-in-law. War den Beemer naturally dislikes to have a hanging iu the penitentiary aud it is believed he will uot enter objections If a movement is started to prevent tho execution of tho death sentence by having tho Lancaster county board of insanity adjudge him insane. It is said if tho board takes this action it would prevent tho hanging, as tho state law provides that a convict adjudged insane shall bo taken to tho asylum there to remain durlug his lusanlty. Two men transferred from tho p6ni tontlary to tho asylum a yoar or two ago escaped from tho asylum. Stato Journal. Should Frank Barker oscapo hang ing through the insanity dodge, it is doubtful if any other person accused of the crime of murder in this county would bo given a chance to oscapo in a similar nuinnor. There is no doubt of Barker's guilt, and it seems rathor Into in the day to bring .forward tho plea of Insanity.
